Plantsmith bug control spray

Keep indoor plants healthy and bug free with our Plantsmith Protecting Bug Control spray. Supplied in a ready to use trigger bottle, it’s designed to protect plants from most common insects, as well as mildew diseases.

Made with a blend of natural surfactants, with no toxic ingredients, the spray works by physical action rather than chemical.

Added nutrients including iron chelate, manganese chelate and magnesium provide a fortifying boost to plants that have been weakened by previous attacks.

The spray will treat a host of sap-sucking pests including:

Whitefly and greenfly
These soft-bodied bugs live in colonies and leave a sticky ‘honeydew’ residue on foliage and stems. This can also encourage black sooty moulds to take hold on the plant.

Mealy bugs
Resembling cotton wool, mealy bugs are probably the most common houseplant pest. They’re tricky to eradicate as they often hide in relatively inaccessible places, but the spray will help get them under control.

Red spider mites
Difficult to spot, but their damage is unmistakable. The upper sides of leaves will become mottled, then shrivel up and die. You might also see fine webbing on foliage. Red mites like hot, dry conditions so mist plants regularly to raise humidity.

Scale insects
Scale insects look like tiny brown limpets. Over time, they form large colonies and will weaken their host plant. Look for them on stems and under leaves.

How to use:
Shake the bottle well before thoroughly spraying the upper and lower surfaces of all leaves. Apply once a week to keep bugs at bay.

For active infestations, spray every three days for two weeks, making sure to spray the insects directly. Continue spraying once a week to restore plants to good health.

Supplied in a recyclable glass bottle. Contains 500ml.
